Glenn Kaye (VE9GK) and Gary Bogle (VE9GSB) will be doing another simplex project on May 17 2025.
"We will be using 50w on 2m simplex frequency 146.520 with an omni-direction antenna and callsign VE9HOA. We are recording the data collected for our different project sites, and will share it with any interested organizations," said Gary.
"Like our previous project in November 2024 at Scotch Mountain, we can offer an electronic QSL via email for anyone interested. Please indicate during our event contact if you require a QSL and the way to contact you. Our email address associated with these events is ve9hoa@gmail.com. "
Gary can also be contacted at ve9gsb@gmail.com. The picture below shows approximately a 100 km radius from our transmitter and they expect to reach Saint John, Moncton, some of NS, and possibly Fredericton. Band conditions and your equipment will best determine which stations they will be able to contact.
"Anyone who wants to help out is welcome to join us with VE9HOA on May 17 at Boyd Mt., or even bring their own gear to try different modes or frequencies," added Gary.
